Hey all! I'm new on here, but not new to fords at all. when I was a kid my father had a 71 torino GT and I loved that car!!!! I always wanted one and I just bought one a few weeks ago! Here's my question: It's sitting on Crager SST's with 245/60r14 in back and 215/60r14's in front. I want a wider tire on the back, so whats the biggest I can go? I don't think they make 265/50r14's anymore?

245/60/14 is the biggest anyone currently makes that is readily available in a street tire.

last i knew crager sst's were still available, so you could step up to 15's in the rear and go with 275/60/15 or 295/50/15. just a thought Ermm

John, yeah there are a TON of options in the 15"
That is a TOTALLY different topic and has been covered numerous time in the Tire/Wheel size thread.
 
Weaver, answering your question on the 14" is what I said in the other post.
